RATES MUST BE RAISED 1: is important that the public, es all;- the business men who feel -iv*-- directly touched by every im r. ..se of rates, should take in the e-s-t.-.ul factor.- of the railroad situa •ton • <dav not only as it affects rail - a-: and shippers, but also and es .a a" it affects the nation now | engaged in war. V bai-ver theories we may have as ■ railroad ownership and operation. .! i" >ar that in the present crises »e mast deal with conditions as we :.;.d them Elen if the country were -a : public ownership, which it , ' i.'-ii is not. we could not take them w at «u> h a time We have, there • problem of making them ser -. -alu- in the highest degree for un ; • <*.--nted task" under the present iii" ■ f private owuershop. That means in plain English that we can n 'i arord to tan- any c hances on re strn ting their efficiency, as it most -••a,:... w.i! be restricted unless they nave not only barely sufficient but amp.- i.i.anc lal me an.-. It is of nri mar> and impera'iv importance that the railroads should o- able to perfect a: extraordinary s-rvice in this time •f War If their ii.aUiy is always es sentiai to the ec -‘notiiic vitality of the at.as li is their expanded ef • n y n w almost a matter of life and death. Kanr >ad men have asserted within the last few day s that ih If. per cent reas- a-ked for will be barely suf •• i ' it not. in fact, insufficient, to ’ heir pr-sert necessities. If this can i*e established the rate should not be e.n.ara-d but increa-ed No risk of re -ffi'iency should be taken.

He lived at Shelton until 5 years of -a- whe; h- moved with his pa rents t«. l»up City.'where, in the few brief ■ he ha? been with us. he has it. lie a ho-t of friends among his mates and all with whom he m contact. He was the eldest oi. of Mr and Mrs. R. p. Schweitzer and leaves to mourn his loss, tiesides i is sorrowing parents, a brother. Win. and sister. Fern, also many other lov mg relatives and friends. We 'hall meet, but we shall miss him There w ill be one vacant chair. UY -hall linger to caress him V .de we breathe our evening pray er. Funeral services were conducted by J 1. Dunn atthe M. E.

PAEK OPENING TODAY OUR COUNTY IS IN LINI The Sherman County Defense Cour i il was organized here last Thursda afternoon at a meeting called by C W. Trumble. Temporary Chairmat The meeting was well attended an the council starts out with a larg membership. The following office were elected: C. W. Trumble. Chairman. E. G. Taylor. Vice Chairman. O. F Peterson. Treasurer. L. B Polski. Secretary. The following county committee men were appointed: Adam Radka.Oak Creal E. E. Tracy .Loga: J H. VVelty .Washiugto C'. J. Whitmore .Eli R. D. Hendrickson.Webste J. S. Pedler .Loup Cit S. S. Polski .Ashto: E. Dwehus .Rockvill C. W. Burt .Cla; Geo. Slote .Harrisoi John Roberts .Scot Hiyo Aden .Hazan Joe Karel . Bristc County councils of defense are bt ing organized in every county of th state in crder that Nebraska may b thoroughly prepared to meet any emet gency that may arise and to thorough ly awaken every inditvidual as to tin seriousness of the wai In general the duty of the count; council is as above and to carry oi an educational campaign, having fo its purpose the ini reuse in produt tion of food, conservative in its use and avoidance of waste in all things BILL IS WET 5LANKET The taxation bill in the House is ; wet blanket upon Secretary McAdoo'i campaign for the sale of the libert; bonds. As -oon as possible the Senati should make known to the countr; that this hill will never pass. Thet the people will take heart again Wheels will begin to turn and plain will be made to expend industry t< meet the needs of the government fo: righting the war. Then the bond: will be bought up by rich and poor. Let the Senate give the country t< understand that the war is to be fough for all the time, the end being the tri umph of our democracy against thi strongest assault that could be madi again-t it. Let the people know tha the immense cost of the war will 1m borne by those receiving the benefit o victory, as well as by those who enduri the burden and shed the blood needfu for victory. As the benefit will rut to posterity, let posterity pay part o the cost. It cannot pay in blood, bu it can pay part of the money cost. Aik since the greater and more populou: and richer I'nited States will be bette: able to pay its share, posterity will stil be under a deep debt to the patriots o this day who pay more than money fo: victory. This nation cannot fight this war ou of current revenues increased by tax ation. It must go into debt. The soon er this fact is understood the better The debt should be apportioned to tin taxpayers over at least 30 years. Fift; years would be better, since the tax payers 50 years hence will be enjoyin; far greater benefits than those of tin immediate future, who will inherit thi blood tax as well as the money tax. Washington Post. SLACKERS GET BUSY County Clerk Polski received a tele gram from Governor Keith Nev.llt yesterday stating that "the provos mersh."l general direct, ihat all per sons of the ages designated, vho fo: any reason did not register on tun, 5 may present themselves to him fo: registration. Pending the convening of Federal grand juries called to in vestigate failures to register, it is the intention of the department tc pursue a liberal policy in order tlia: registration may be made complete at the earliest possible moment. Non residents may also continue to registei under the same provisions.” The penalty for failing to registei is one year in the federal penitentiary The government is acting very lenieni in this matter and if any one has fail ed to register they have another chance. If they fail to do their duty now no doubt they will have to pav the penalty. DAVIS CREEK NEWS. Ed. Manchester was in Ashton. Sat urday. George Barnett was in North Loup Saturday evening. Ed.

Deal the high cost of living a migli j y Wow by going out to the creeks and draws where the trees are loaded with blossoms. Burn or take a car. of coa! and destroy all the worm uests. A lit j tie oil dropped on the upper parts of the worm nests will kill them all. »ver was there a brighter prospect for wild fruit than this year. Destroy j the worms now before they leave ; their nests. A few days of the past week were good for all kinds < f farm work. All crops are two weeks behind. Some corn being cultivated. Rye will soon be in head and the crop is good. Win ter wheat that got through the winter looks fine. Spring wheat and oats are commencing to joint. Alfalfa is ready i to cut next week. Pastures are iw 1 coving slow. Potatoes are late but are on the jump and the prospect for a big crop are good. Most corn is a good stand The hay crop will be a large one in this locality, with the last half of May wet and the first part of June wet is a sure sign of a big haycrop. Win. Kuhl did a dandy job of drag ging the roads from Casteel s to Fritz Bichel's place last week. Carrier could : not help but notice one thing and that j was when he came to a hill he w tu over it twice making it look almost like the grader had gone over it. It this is done each time the roads are dragged it would avoid the many bad washouts in the road earn year.Car ricr believes that if a road boss used every dollar he had to spend on the roads in dragging the roads after ev ery rain except the washed out cul verts, he would render to the public better service than any way the mon , ey could be spent. 1 — THE MEASURE OF OUR DUTIES. There is some sentiment attaching to the cause which prompted our en j trance into the war against Germany; | but, generally speaking, it is cold rea 1 son which at length convinced the president that we should do so. We become a full partner in the enter prise. Our obligations are the same as those of the Allies in Europe. Accord inly, we shall find in their mutual re lation the measure ot our duties: and we may well take pattern thereby England and France have been tlu I bankers of the Entents. They have' made large loans to Russia and to the smaller Powers with which they are ' a.iied. They have not made gifts of ' ~ash. though they nave made bor- ]' towing easy. There is no reason why we should go further than England in • this matter. The Allies Go not ask it _ i REGISTRATION DAY. Registration day. Tuesday, June 5th. passed quietly. Programs had been ar ranged for in the different towns, hut the rain prevented much of a demon stration. The band here managed to \ render a few selections between show ers, which were much apprecteted by all. The program and flag raising to be held in the court house square had to be postponed on account of the rain. The registration in the county ■ was 7S3. The government estimate was &16, which was considered high. The number registered in Loup City township was 13S. In spite of the fact that the rules of the registration were published in every paper in the land, and advertised in many other ways, much confusion resulted front mis understanding of the rules.

CRAFT HORRIFIC. The Eastland, we hear, is to be ion verted into a gun-boat. The East land, it will be remembered, is the boat that turned turtle at her berth in Chicago about two years ago and drowned several hundred people. Set retary Redfield. though making much fuss about it. was never able to a. complish anything in reference to [he case, but maybe Secretary Daniel. can do better with the death-ship now One thing is certain, if the Eastland can be as fatal to the enemy in tin: ■ of war as she was to our own people in time of peace, there should be no delay in getting her into commission Special Teachers' Examinations.
